Oranges and Oranges

In trying to produce more complex images I painted this orange with the thought of turning it into wallpaper (or what wallpaper would look like).

Orange- Original Ink and Watercolour





Orange Wallpaper


After painting the orange, I scanned the image and then loaded it into step and repeat. I thought that I had blended the edges well but was disappointed that you could still see a lighter square around the orange. It is really much more obvious from this image than the small tile in photoshop. I did not want the background perfect and tried to achieve an old, coffee stained, washed out look, but not with an obvious square. So guess it is still a work in progress.

Hopefully will digitally print this with Vic next Friday
